This is the speedboat seized by police after it ploughed into a dinghy killing a 15-year-old Tyneside schoolboy on holiday in the British Virgin Islands.

Luke Noble from East Boldon, South Tyneside, and 19-year-old American Dennis Campbell-Harty were killed in the accident on August 5.

The Noble Harty Foundation is being set up and a boat is being named in their memory.

The foundation will raise money for sea rescue services and will also go to teaching children boat safety skills.

Dutch tourist Argan Hendrickson appeared in court last week charged with two counts of manslaughter and one count of operating a vessel in a reckless and negligent manner.

The 22ft Boston Whaler he was piloting collided with the dinghy just off Virgin Gorda at night, throwing Luke and Dennis into the water.

It is believed they were knocked unconscious by the impact.

Their bodies were found the next day near the crash site and a post mortem showed they had drowned.

Luke's cousin Stephen Noble, 18, was also flung into the water but was pulled to safety by a fourth person on the dinghy, American Ian Murray.

Luke had been enjoying a month-long holiday with his cousin, whose dad Det Chief Insp Tony Noble is with the Northumbria force and was on a three-year secondment on the Virgin Islands.

Mr Hendrickson, 36, who had been on holiday on Eustatia Island, fled the scene of the accident, but was later arrested and appeared in court when he was bailed for $60,000.

Hendrickson's next court appearance is scheduled for September 24.

A full investigation is being undertaken under the leadership of Inspector St Clair Amory.

Luke's father Mark, a newsagent, flew to the islands last week but has since returned home. His wife Karen, also 42, stayed at home with their other children Adam, 19, and Jill, 11.

A pupil at St Joseph's School, Hebburn, Luke had ambitions to become an engineer and was described as a "wonderful son and brother".

Family and friends are invited to Luke's funeral service at St Patrick's Church, Felling, Gateshead, on Thursday at 10am and East Boldon Cemetery and then afterwards at East Boldon Cricket Club. Donations kindly received to the Noble Harty Foundation.
